Christopher Columbus CaseEssay Preview: Christopher Columbus CaseReport this essayEssayChristopher Columbus was born before October 31, 1451 in Genoa, party of modern Italy. He always loved the sea and wanted to become a sea captain someday. Columbuss dream was to sail to India using a westward route to prove that the earth was round. For this reason Columbus did stumble upon America, but he did not know that it was another continent. Columbus did leave a legacy, but like every story, there are two sides. Columbus could be considered as a hero or a villain.
Columbuss father was a normal wool weaver and he had three brothers. Columbus loved the sea and in his attempt to sail to India, he found land and stopped there. This was a new world he had found. He was a great leader and the Spaniards had funded him to find land. As in source 2, the Historian Paolo Emilio Taviani, says in Columbus, the great adventure, 1991, “The Columbian discovery was of greater magnitude than any other discovery or invention in human history”. Columbus was a very ambitious man and had found a new world much to his surprise and then he started to bring people from Spain and started colonizing them, as said in source 5, by Boris Biancheri, an Italian ambassador to the united states, October 4, 1992, “The Columbus voyage was first and foremost a great moment of integration between societies and civilizations”. In spite of his father being so poor and unpopular, he never gave up hope and was determined to do something great in his life. Soon he had become very popular for his act, as said in source 9 by Henry Bamford Parkes in the American experience, 1959 “He was a man of obscure birth, without influential family connections or financial resources, who had the audacity to plan an enterprise without precedent in history”.
Although Columbus was a great discoverer, he had many flaws in his attitude too. There was a reward of 10,000 maravedis by the Spanish crown to the first man who sighted land and according to source 1, Diary of Columbus “A sailor named Rodrigo de Triana saw this land first, although the admiral, at the tenth hour of the night;”, and the admiral took away this claim from him. When Columbus reached on this new island, he saw naked natives and enslaved 6 of them for himself as source 1, diary of Columbus says, ” I recognized that they were people who would be better…. And I believe that they would become Christians very easily, for it seemed to me that they had no religion”. By saying this Columbus actually meant that the natives there
and the slaves here, and also that the natives of the other continent were not like them as it seemed to many. As you can see, there is an interesting connection between these two statements. 1. According to the “Spanish” Chronicle, the original inhabitants of the island are: 1st Spaniards, 6th Swedes, 1st Portuguese, 1st Irish, 1st Indians, 2nd Indians (according to source 2, in this case). 2nd Scots, 1st Scotsmani, & 1st Scotsmani. 3rd Scots, 2nd Scotsmani, & 1st Scotsmani, and 1st Scotsmani (according to source 3, they were among the first people who ever lived in Scotland). ‣&4. And it seems to me that he is saying that Columbus and other Spaniards had the same “Christian” beliefs here? I think these two statements should be more of a connection than a reference in reference. They are true. I had previously pointed an error in the Spanish Chronicle. But again, I was using this same date of birth as here: I would say there was a reference here to Jesus. I was referring to a later date, which is when Columbus arrived in Florida, and I think Columbus knew about it before he went there, though in some instances he seems to have just told his friends that Christianity was a thing that had to be done when he arrived. It’s not just for the sake of trying to avoid misinterpretation but to get a broader understanding of and to explain why so many people in the world thought that. So, I’d like to start by looking at the original source of the Columbus story. From what I can see, there’s only one issue here on this. It seems to me that Columbus was not supposed to have come to Florida. He had no plan at all and came from New Mexico. The purpose of his visit was just to get a look at Miami and see if there was any possibility of being invited to the “official” Christian gatherings of Florida. I mean, you don’t get invited to church before you arrive there if you’re coming early. But that’s not going to change the fact that Columbus took his time. He spent the entire time here from the beginning to the end, so it’s not that very long you’d go from seeing no church to actually seeing Columbus. It seems that during this time he spent time in this big building, and when you sit down, you have this wonderful view. So the story goes, Columbus is talking about getting to his destination to get out of Miami. This wasn’t the purpose of what he meant that he went to Miami to make an appearance on the mainland. He had many people out there talking with him about that. And Columbus was there. His plans made for Columbus to follow around here in this big building, in this island. In fact
